Multiple layers is basically a colour LCD, so not actually that uncommon  >:D

I mean multiple discrete LCDs, stacked. It wasn't colour filtered, and I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it had backlighting.

Yes, I knew what you meant but couldn't resist  :-//

I am sure I've seen that too, but I can't actually recall when or where.

That's where the +12V pins on a PCIe slot are, so if that's a NCV probe they're calling an "inductor tester" (more like "inductive tester"), at least there's some truth to the image...

I now refer to “conventional” current flow direction as “adult” current, opposite to the “baby” current in the series circuit article.

Ages ago, i think that might actually have also been a Big Clive video, i saw a solar light that misused an IEC C13/14 connector for 12volts, to connect an external battery i think.
The adapter with the barrel jack seems to fit that particular use case  >:D

"Widow makers" seem to see something of a resurgence lately. I blame the high demand for generators, be they gasoline or solar.

Some microscopes made by Vision Engineering use it for the 12 V lamp.  The lamp has the C13 commonly found on power cords while the power supply has the C14 commonly found on appliances.
